2012 Forwards

[Nickos66]

i was totally against fev earlier in the year, but he's been a good boy of late and if we can get him for a song, then we can roll the dice for 2012. maybe the lack of media scrutiny would be good for him over west too.

Troll attempt?

Every experienced forward we have ever brought over has had unrelenting media scrutiny, and you think Fev wouldn't?!

Modra, Croad, Tarrant, Anthony. And that's without even thinking about it more than 5 seconds. He would get torn to shreds here!! Especially after we couldn't adequately deliver the ball to him and he starts to display the frustration onfield with hands on the hips and abusing teammates as well as refusing to chase.

well, i was thinking about taz when i wrote that. he seemed to be able to turn it around and the media in perth isn't anywhere near as torrential as it is in melbourne. still, different beasts. it's a massive gamble.

I see what you did there...

...and harvs is also a punting man. should be interesting at least.

If anything, I think it'd be worse over here to be honest.

Much smaller place then Melbourne. Fewer places to go out. Fewer AFL footy players out on the town. The minute he was seen in public they'd be on about Fev getting back to his old tricks. And the media would dredge up every example of prior Freo trading or drafting f*ckups in any given slow news week, to say why drafting Fev was typical old Freo.

People like Harvey and Malthouse have said that Perth is even more of a goldfish bowl than Melbourne when it comes to the media and footy.
